The WSB Series 1.5 inch x 8.0 inch Swivel Ball Hydraulic Cylinder is specifically built to handle the stresses of angular movement and structural flex. While standard cylinders suffer from seal failure when subjected to side-loading, this model utilizes integrated spherical swivel ball bearings at both the base and rod end to compensate for misalignment automatically during the lift or pull cycle. This design ensures that the force remains centered, protecting the hardened chrome-plated rod and internal components from premature wear. This 3000 PSI rated cylinder is the ideal choice for heavy-duty applications such as steering systems on articulated loaders, waste management equipment, specialized construction pivots, and mining machinery. With its rugged welded body and precision-machined ball mounts, it provides the durability needed for equipment that operates in uneven terrain or under variable load paths where flexibility is non-negotiable.
